Author Note: I am dropping this chapter for everyone, as an announcement. For the next few weeks. Due to the Coronavirus, I will not post anything for a few weeks. Do not misunderstand, I am not infected. I'm fine, I just wish to be there if my family were to become infected.

Also, this Ex-Aid inspired intro. Would you like me to go back to the Build part and do an intro for Build X Zi-O? Feel free to tell me, as well as your thoughts on the story. Enjoy!

Rayshift 4: The Second M 2065

---

Location: Tokyo Japan 2065… We are Observer

Sirens sound, as a paramedic moves a stretcher with a boy on it. "Huh? It's Keisuke." A passing by kid notes.

"Did something happen?" Another kid asks, with other onlookers. Keisuke's father rushes over to his son's side.

"Keisuke, are you okay?" The Father asks Keisuke.

"It hurts… Please help me," Keiskie said as he pushed into the ambulance. "Dad-" Time slows as Keisuke's father looks around confused. Keisuke looks around before his eyes fall on Ora who's leaning against the ambulance. He jumps back in surprise.

"Wh-Who are you? Wh-What's going on here?!" The Father exclaims in clear frustration and confusion as he ruffles his hair.

"I'm Ora, a Time Jacker." Ora said, walking over to Keisuke. "And I'm afraid I have some bad news for you. But, there's good news, too." Ora said, as she looks down at Keisuke. The two talk back and forth, as Ora walks over to the Father. The Father looks at Ora, before nodding. Ora then walks behind the father, pulling out a watch. Activating it then she puts the watch into the Father as he transforms. "As of today… You. Are Kamen Rider Ex-aid." Ora announces.

"EX-AID!"

---

Location Change: France A.D 1431

Wool and Ora look over the battle. "I see. So he's your candidate…" Wool said, sitting back down to look at the battle.

"Yes, though. I do not believe now to be a good time… Soon." Ora said looking at the battle.

We are Sougo

We manage to push back Vlad, Carmilla, Saver, and Nega. If just barely… I'm so tired too…

"Wait, Carmilla and I can still fight. The saint and Overlord's blood belongs to us." Vlad said, standing back up and collecting himself. Servants are on a completely different level to regular humans… Even skeletons! I'm barely holding up, even with everyone… "As if I would allow a mere executioner who knows nothing of the radiance of blood, the grandeur of blood, take-" Vlad is cut off by Alter.

"Shut up. Know your place, Vlad III." Jeanne Alter said. "No matter how much authority you may have had in life, you're all equals as Servants." Alter proclaims before looking at Jeanne. "You wanted so badly to suck her blood that you unconsciously held back. You haven't learned a thing." Alter said, as more Wyverns fly in from above. "I hate people like that. Stay out of it this time, okay?" Alter said as the Wyverns fly towards us.

"Everyone, run! I'll hold them off!" Jeanne shouts to us as she charges at the Wyverns, we all backup and make some distance. Geiz and Tsukyomi begin shooting at the Wyverns to give Jeanne cover. I switch my gun and aim, I fire a few shots only one manages to graze a Wyvern. I am shit with this!

"I have shit aim!" I shouted while continuing to shoot, all my shots continued to graze. "Fuck!" I shout in frustration.

"Like that matters? Just shoot and you might hit something!" Geiz shouts as he continues to shoot. That really changes nothing! I take aim again and shoot, the shot distracts a Wyvern enough for Charlotte to drop in and cut a Wyvern's head.

"Thank you for the distraction." Charlotte thanks. Huh… Okay. I can work with this. I give Charlotte a thumbs up. To which Charlotte gives a thumbs up back, as she jumps back to the ground and next to her master.

"Assassin! Watch our backs!" Geiz orders. Charlotte disappeared to defend.

"Ah, Mash! Give Jeanne cover!" I order Mash who quickly moves in to block a diving Wyvern.

"Thank you, Mash." Jeanne thanks, twirling her flag then thrusting the sharp end of the flag into the Wyvern's head. Killing it. But it's clear that while we may be able to win, it's also true that we are all tired. Alter knows this as she steps down.

"That should be enough. Just in case, I will make sure to remove your head from your body." Alter said with more Wyverns behind her. Oh come on… Geiz and I continue to fire.

"All of you, please go!" Jeanne said before something drops down from above. "What?" Jeanne said.

"What?" Alter said.

"A glass- Rose?" Mash and I said at the same time looking at the glass rose.

"It's not elegant." A kind and respectful voice said. "Neither is this city. Neither is that combat style. I don't like your philosophy or principles either." The voice said with footsteps approach and stop at the top of a flight of stone stairs. "You're so beautiful, yet you shroud yourself in blood and hatred. For good or for evil, shouldn't a human try to be more free?" We look over to where the voice comes from.

"...A Servant?" Alter asks. The woman steps forward. Long white hair, a large head dress, elegant red clothing, Beautiful face, light blue eyes, a 5 '6 figure. Who is she? She's dressed like a queen?!

"Yes, that's right. I'm so happy. This is what it means to announce oneself as a hero of justice!" She proclaims. Is it? I mean, no denying it was a grand entrance. But I still feel like that intro could have easily been disrupted. "I know who you are. I also know how powerful and terrifying you are. To be honest, I have to confess that I've never trembled in fear more before anyone else. Yet still - if you intend to invade this nation, then I shall face you even if I have to tear apart my dress. Why? Because..." She said,

"You are..." The saber in the back mutters to him-her? Him/Her mutters. Charlotte steps out and looks at the Servant.

"You are… Royalty..." Charlotte said, with a look of disbelief on her face. Wait… If Charlotte recognizes her then she was alive around her time… Royalty… Happy… Grand entrance. French Revolution... I take a look at her dress looking remembering my memory of the French Revolution. Queen… Queen?! Could she be!? I look at the woman in awe.

"Oh my. So you know of my True Name. Have we met before, splendid female knight?" She asks. A knight, who recognises her. A hermaphroditic, androgynistic. The pieces begin fitting together in my mind.

"Oh my god…" I mutter getting everyone's attention. "You're the Flower of Versailles, you are Queen Marie Antionette!" I exclaim then turning towards Saber. "Which means, you must be Chevalier d'Eon!" I exclaim, both look at me.

"So… The young Overlord knows of me then." d'Eon mutters knowing she-He? Has been discovered. Marie putting her hands together with a smile.

"That's right! Thank you for saying my name for me! And as long as that name exists, I will play my role, no matter how foolish it may be." Marie said, turning her gaze towards Alter. "You! Dragon Witch who's touching my country. It might be pointless, but I will ask you anyway." Marie said as she stands firm against Alter. "Are you evil enough to perform your wicked deeds in my very presence?" Marie asks. So calm! So collected! Just as a ruler should be! I think to myself taking mental notes. "Will you declare yourself a greater fool than I, the queen who failed to stop the revolution?" Marie asks.

"Silence! You lack the right to participate in this battle." Alter exclaims.

"Oh, and why is that?" Marie asks.

"You led a life of luxury in a palace, and died without even knowing what happened." Alter points out. "Are you saying you can understand our hatred?" Alter asks.

"Hmm… I suppose I can't. But that just makes me want to know more, Dragon Witch." Marie said.

"What?" Alter asks.

"What I don't know, I learn. That's my policy." Marie said. That's… A good policy. I should keep that in mind. "That's why I can't bear to look at you like this. Oh, Jeanne d'Arc, beloved saint!" Marie said. Does she mean normal or alter? "All I know is that you're taking your rage out on the innocent. And I've not the slightest idea why. Everything's disappearing into a haze, like a girl going for a Sunday walk. I've no words for you. What I do know is this." Marie said before turning her gaze to us. "Along with the Jeanne d'Arc over there, three brave armored knights, and the kind lady over there. I am going to make your heart and body mine!" Marie declares… Wait… What? Did… She really, just say that?

"Ah- Um… Phrasing, you're highness." I speak up putting my hand up. "People can take what you said the wrong way!" I tell her. I look over to Mash and Jeanne, seeing the two of them blushing. "See?" I said pointing to them.

"Oh, my. Oh dear, oh dear. Um, I seem to have created a misunderstanding." Marie apologies with her face blushing in embarrassment. "I just meant that as a Queen, I'm going to bring you to your knees." Marie clarifies. Then, I shall do so myself! "Thank you for correcting me… May I know your name Brave Knight?" Marie asks me. B-Brave Knight?

"My- My name is Tokiwa Sougo you're highness. Also known as Kamen Rider Zi-O… I… I want to be- No. Will become a King!" I exclaim. "I intend to become the greatest most beloved king of all time!" I proclaim.

"...It's falling apart… My image of Marie Ationett is falling apart..." Dr. Roman mutters in the background.

"A king? My! What a wonderful Goal!" Marie said. My face feels hotter upon hearing that. The second time someone has liked my goal. I think a smile is forming on my face. "I am sure you will become a wonderful king!" Marie said smiling. Ha… A-A complement from Royalty, I can do this! A foot stomps on the ground, turning all our attention back to Alter.

"Enough of this farce! Very well then, you are my enemy." Alter said, gesturing to Marie. "Servants, first take care of that annoying princess! Then the others!" Alter orders as the Servants break off. While more Wyverns approach us.

"Ugh… This situation just gets wilder and wilder." Geiz said reaching for his Cross-Z Ride Watch. "Zi-O! Armor up." Geiz orders, I take out the Build Ride watch. We step forward as we turn the face of the watch and activate them.

"Cross-Z!" "Build!" Putting the watches into the belts, we tilt then spin the driver. "Armor Time!" Our armors appear and attach onto us. "Best Match! Build!" "Wake Up Burning! Cross-Z!" With our armor on, my mind begins calculating a way to fight off the Wyverns quickly.

"What the? What is that armor?" Vlad asks looking at us.

"So… This is a Rider Armor." Savior said looking at the armor. A Wyvern flies at me, it flies close to broken buildings on the verge of collapsing. There! I lift up my drill and put it against the ground. The drill pump back and forth. Changing from a drill into a jackhammer that rocks the ground. The rumbling causes the building to collapse, crushing a Wyvern. Mash runs in, climbing the rubble before jumping off it. Slamming her shield into another Wyvern killing it. I look over to Geiz who somehow managed to grab a Wyvern by the head and is wrestling with it.

"A-Assassin! Kill it!" Geiz orders, Charlotte rushes it and swings. Creating several clean cuts down the throat of the Wyvern, it drops to the ground dead. A screech comes from above as a Wyvern dives down at Jeanne. It puts out it's claws to attack, Jeanne stands still, the Wyvern dives down onto her back while keeping her flag's blade pointed up at the Wyvern. The flag edge pierces the Wyverns stomach and the blade continues down though the tail and out. Jeanne quickly gets to her feet with the Wyvern dropping to the ground behind her. Jeanne rushes over and stabs the Wyvern in the head killing it.

"We survived somehow. So did she!" Jeanne said looking over to Marie.

"Gasp… Gasp… Gasp..." Mash exhales tired. I walk over to her and put my hand on her shoulder.

"You good?" I ask her. Mash looks at me and forces a smile and nods. "Don't push yourself." I tell her, Tsukuyomi comes over and checks on Mash. "Thanks." I thank. Wonder how Marie is holding up? I wonder looking over at the battle on the stairs.

"Damn, so irritating!" Vlad exclaims, as we look over to him and the other Servants being held back.

"Yes, that's right. This is a battlefield, after all. That's enough talk." Marie said looking at Vlad. "You're the enemy of the world, aren't you? So first we must appease the souls of all those you murdered." Maries said before turning around to face someone else. "Thank you for waiting, Amadeus. Crush them like bugs!" Marie orders. Wait? Amadeus? Mozart?! Stepping forward unto center stage a man with wild and bright conductor clothes steps forward.

"Leave it to me! Noble Phantasm, "Requiem for Death."" Amadeus exclaims as orchestra blasts.

"One more! Oh, but what a glorious, evil sound!" Carmila said.

"Ugh, such pressure!" Vlad said.

"Hmm..." Savior mutters staring at the two.

"God this sound sucks..." Nega said rubbing his ears.

"Damn!" Alter said, covering her ears.

"Now then, good day everyone. Au revoir!" Marie said, before a horse rode in to pick her and Amadeus up. Geiz and I look at each other. Time for the bikes! Quickly grabbing our bike, Ride Watches off our holders.

"Jeanne! Charlotte! Follow us in Spirit form!" I exclaim before tossing the bike as it folds out. Geiz and I hop on, with Tsukyomi with Geiz and Mash with me. We rev the engine and quickly drive off after Marie and Amadeus.

We are Observer

"...Hmph. Rider!" Alter orders as Rider steps out.

"...What is it?" Rider asks.

"Go after them. Surely you can catch them on your "Horse." There's no need to fight." Alter said before turning away. "Just tell me where they are, and I'll crush them." Alter orders.

"...Understood. I assure you I'll catch them." Rider said, jump down to the ground then move to follow the party. Savior and Nega walk over to Alter.

"You know, we could have chased them ourselves." Nega said walking over. "And faster then that saint." Nega adds. Alter turns and walks past.

"I care little for that. When she finds them. And she will, she will tell us and their little party will end." Alter said with a malevolent grin to her face.

"Such is not so simple." An ominous voice said, Nega and Savior recognize the voice immediately and bow, as Oma Zi-O enters the singularity through a portal. "You do not seem to have the foresight necessary for this plan to succeed." Oma Zi-O said looking off at the direction where Rider left. "She will betray you." Oma Zi-O said, looking at Alter. To which she scoffs.

"She's a Berserker Servant now. She is bound to my will, I am her Master. She will not disobey." Alter assures. Oma Zi-O looks back ahead.

"You're own anger blinds you to the feelings of others. It will be your downfall." Oma Zi-O said, as another portal appeared in front of him. Before entering, he looks down at the back of his right hand, where a Command seal glows… "As it is for me." Oma Zi-O said walking into the portal and disappearing.

---

We are Sougo

After getting a good distance away from the city, we park and recollect ourselves. Geiz and I get off our bikes and kick up the leg. As I take a seat on the ground. Phew, that was crazy! "-Phew. All right, are we safe now?" Marie asks.

"Doctor?" Mash asks, the team at HQ appear through a screen with the Faiz Phone X.

"Yes. I'm not detecting them anymore." Roman said, a sigh of relief from all of us.

"Ground Team, we are also picking up leyline readings from that nearby forest." Olga informs us. Back to work. I think, picking myself up.

"Very well. Jeanne? And… Marie?" Mash asks.

"What, did you say?" Marie shoots back.

"F-Forgive me. Um-" Mash sutters, Marie walks over and grabs Mash's hands lifting them up and putting them together. A clear smile on Maries face.

"You weren't being rude! You made me so happy! The way you addressed me was so adorable!" Marie said with excitement. "Please, splendid knight! Would you mind calling me that from now on?" Marie asks Mash.

"Uh, Yes..." Mash said blushing. "Miss Marie, or Mademoiselle Marie, perhaps?" Mash asks. I step over twisting the knob and removing my helmet. Well their getting allong fine.

"Nope, that won't work at all. Just Marie! Like the sheeps!" Marie said.

"I'm pretty sure that was 'Mary'..." Geiz said, stepping over with his helmet off. Marie twirls to face us.

"Yes! Yes, Yes, yes! Nice to meet you! I'm Marie!" Marie said walking over to Tsukuyomi and taking her hands. "I love understanding ladies. Let me guess. You're very popular with the opposite sex, right?" Marie begins asking. Geiz and I look at each other. Geiz with a 'who the hell is this girl?' Look on his face. And I shoot back with 'just deal with it.' Look At least… that is the look I try to give.

"Um… Marie? May I speak?" I ask. Marie pauses, realising what she's doing, she steps back from Tsukuyomi. She collects herself.

"Oh, my apologies. I got excited for a minute. How rude of me." Marie apologies. "So, how may I be of service?" Marie asks us.

"There's a strong leyline in a nearby forest. We'd like to head there and make camp…" I tell Marie of our intentions. "Is that all right, everyone?" I ask.

"Of course, that's fine. Is that alright with you, Amadeus?" Marie asks Amadeus.

"There's no point in asking for my opinion. Do what you want, Maria." Amadeus said.

"All right. It should be fine, I think." Jeanne agrees.

"Let's go there and rest, and then we can talk about our next move." Mash said. With all of us in agreement, we get back to our bikes. As I sit on my bike, I hear something rustle from the entrance of the forest before us. Hmm?

"RAAAGH!" A creature jumps out and knocks me off the bike and pins me against the ground. I look at the creature. When I notice a familiar pattern of the creature. C-Could it be?

---

The creature has a color palette of pink, silver, gold, green, and black. The head has wild pink hair, with black braids on the back of the head. Twisted and angry looking face mask with dead eyes. Visible mouth and teeth below. The chest is a pink undersuit with black lines passing through, but spots of black like a lizard dot the undersuit. The armor on the chest is uneven and rigid. On the chest reads "EX-AID." On the back is a face with the year 2065 Shoulder pads with spikes, gold bands just before the elbow, after that is green with spots of black, leading to another gold band by the wrist. On both arms are a pair of sharp blades sticking out. The waist has a gold belt with a face visible. Down the legs are gold bands just before the knees, with the rest down to the ankle being the reptile green and black. Silver armor protects the knee down, with gold armor on the feet like slippers.

---

"Wh-What the?! A-An Alter Rider?!" I exclaim as Alter lifts up it's arm to punch me. When Alter punches, I manage to grab the hand to hold back but Alter pushes back. I glance at his chest to see the name written on it. "E-Ex-Aid?" I ask. Ex-Aid Alter pushes against me. "H-Help!" I shout.

"Senpai!" Mash exclaims as she readies her shield.

"Idiot! Zi-O hold still!" I hear Geiz shout before an axe cuts down Ex-Aid Alter's back. That causes Ex-Aid to reel back. I put up my leg and kick Ex-Aid Alter back, knocking into Geiz. "Ugh!" Geiz pushes Alter away, Geiz walks over to me and grabs me pulling me up with his axe ready. "What the hell was that?!" Geiz demands.

"Wh-Whoa! Geiz I'm sorry! I didn't know you were there!" I exclaim.

"I just cut down the Alter Rider's back! How do you not know?!" Geiz shouts.

"It was in the head of the momen- Get back!" I shout pushing Geiz back dodging the Alter's attack. I materialise my helmet. "Look, Geiz. I'm sorry but let's deal with him!" I exclaim taking out my blade, Geiz and I charge at Alter. Alter looks at us before double jumping in the air over us. "Wha-?" I ask as Geiz and I bump into each other.

"Watch it!" Geiz shouts.

"S-Sorry- Here he comes!" I shout Alter Ex-Aid running at us again. Geiz looks at me, before kicking me out of the way. I land on the ground as Geiz battles Ex-Aid Alter. "Ow!... Do you have to kick me?" I ask Geiz, while he battles Ex-Aid. I get up to my feet. "His name is Ex-Aid… so he is an Alter Rider, but… What kind of Rider is he?" I ask.

"A Gamer Rider my Overlord." Woz-

"WHA?!" I exclaim in surprise seeing Woz next to me. "W-Woz… Don't scare me like that!" I exclaim. Woz turns to me and bows.

"Apologies, my Overlord." Woz apologies. "Still, to answer your earlier question." Woz opens his book to a page and reads. "According to this book. Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, a Rider that uses Games to fight. He and other doctors battle Bugsters, a sentient virus that can infect people using the power of games. Using the power of the same games, Ex-Aid and his allies defeat the bugsters, Or… Treat patients." Woz explains.

"Treat? Like a Doctor?" Mash asks walking up.

"Yes my lady. Ex-Aid is a Doctor Gaming Rider." Woz confirms. "Another creation of the Time Jacker, just as in your quest in Fuyuki, this Alter will become a problem if not dealt with, my Overlord." Woz advies.

"I see… Ah!" I notice an opportunity. I charge in with my blade and cut down Ex-Aid Alter's back. Before Geiz swings across Alter's chest knocking it away.

"What the hell were you doing?" Geiz asks me.

"Well, Woz was explaining to me who Ex-Aid is." I said pointing to Woz. I look back over to Ex-Aid Alter who's beginning to get up. "H-Hey! He's getting up, we need to finish him." I tell Geiz who glares at me.

"Don't think you can order me around." Geiz said.

"I never said it was- Oh forget it!" I said reaching for my Ride Watch. Pressing the crown.

"Finish Time!" The Watches sound, Geiz and I tilt our belts and spin them. "Time Break!" "Time Burst!" We both jump up into the air and dropkick Ex-Aid knocking him away before he explodes.

"We got him… For now." Geiz said looking at where Ex-Aid Alter was. "We're going to have to deal with him sooner or later..." Geiz said before looking at me.

"What?" I asked him. Geiz looks back at Cross-Z Ride Watch, then back to me.

"You need to stay out of this." Geiz said walking over to me. "If you find the Alter Rider, you'll have to use Zi-O's power again. Which means you might end up gaining another Rider's power." Geiz tells me off, removing his armor.

"You make it sound like a bad thing." I said removing my armor. "What we did in Build's world was quite the opposite. We helped people. And to stop this Singularity, having more power would be a good thing." I said to Geiz who glared at me.

"Is that how you justify killing half the world and ruling a wasteland? You save the past, so you have a right to kill the world?" Geiz said to me. I opened my mouth to respond, but I can't find the words. "I let you off the hook once, but you're desire for power… It's clear to me that you started down the path to becoming Oma Zi-O." Geiz said to me. "For your sake. Just stay out of the Alter Rider business and focus on being a Master instead." Geiz orders me while walking past me.

"I can't do that." I said, turning to him. "Having a Rider's power… We can prevent more deaths! Here and in the other Singularities!" I said, thinking back to the bodies that were piled up by Jeanne Alter's minions… The men at the fort... "I can't just watch someone suffer like this… Do you have any idea what that's like, Geiz?" Geiz grabs me by the collar and brings me close.

"Of course I fucking do..." Geiz said with clear rage in his eyes. "More than you could possibly imagine!" He pushes me back. "Don't think you're the center of the Fucking World… Overlord." Geiz tells me. That reminds me of all the people I've likely killed to bring Geiz back here to the past to spare another universe… Right… The Future me...

"Now, now! That's enough, you two! Fighting like this won't help anyone!" Marie said cutting in between us. "Let's save this for later. For now shall we find this Leyline and get some rest?" Marie inclines us to do. Geiz simply scoffs before walking away. "Ah- wait I… He left… I very much wanted to know his name." Marie said… I… How much damage have I done to him? I think looking at Geiz hop on his bike.

---

Later…

We entered the forest, found the leyline, fought off some monsters, and got a lecture about Servant class advantages. Geiz is keeping his distance and… I feel like I can't blame him. While resting and grabbing something to bite, Marie stands up.

"Now that things have settled down, I'd like to introduce myself again." Marie said. "My True Name is Marie Antionette. I'm from the Rider Class." Marie introduces herself. "As for who I am, I'd be happy if you could examine me closely with your eyes and ears." That could be taken the wrong way if I feel… "As for what I was summoned, unfortunately, I have no idea. After all, I have no Master." Marie tells us.

"Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. I'm the same as her. My class is Caster." Mozart introduces himself. "As for why I was summoned, first of all, it just doesn't feel like I'm a hero. Yes I'm great, but even so, I'm still just one of many artists… Well, I did apply magecraft in my music, but that was only because I was drawn to the sounds played by demons." Mozart said. Wait? He practices magecraft? And demons?!

"I'm Mash Kyrielight. I'm a Demi-Servant, and I don't know what my True Name is." Mash introduces before looking at me. "This is Tokiwa Sougo, Kamen Rider Zi-O, future king, and my Master." Mash introduces me.

"Whassup?" I greet them.

"Oh my! What an interesting greeting! Wh… Whassup! My homies!" Maire said, but she thinks on her words. "Hmph, it seems different when Tokiwa said it… perhaps I need to think more like a peasant..." Marie wonders.

"No it's nothing like that." I said, "It's more casual. Just something you said to your friends or family who you know, be casual around." I explain to Marie who takes an interest in my explanation.

"Come on… Don't teach her weird greetings." Mash said to me. "We still need to introduce the other two." Mash said looking over to Geiz.

"Myokoin Geiz, this is my Servant Assassin." Geiz introduces himself and Charlotte to everyone.

"Tsukuyomi, a friend of Geiz." Tsukuyomi greets.

"And I am-" Jeanne said before being cut off by Marie.

"Jeanne. Jeanne d'Arc, yes?" Marie said to Jeanne. "The saint who saved France. One of the people I wished to meet in my life." Marie said greeting Jeanne.

"... I'm, not a saint." Jeanne said blushing.

"Yes, everyone knows that's how you saw yourself." Maire said. "But the way you lead your life was true, and we all know the results. That's why everyone will always remember and admire the name Jeanne d'Arc, and the miracle of Orleans." Marie said to Jeanne who remains silent.

"Of course, your life ended at the stake and resulted in that witch. It's just like Maria to only look at the good parts." Mozart points out, then looking at Jeanne. "Am I wrong, Jenne d'Arc? Your life was a little out of tune. Jeanne herself is the one who gets hurt when people call her a perfect saint." Mozart said looking over to Marie. "Listen, Maria. You always said what you think others want to hear. Sometimes you need to scold or deny others." Mozart said to Marie.

"I-I don't need to hear that from you, Amadeus! You already tell me that everyday!" Marie said to Mozart standing up to face him. "T-This is what you want, right? You piano-brain! Piece of human Garbage!" Marie said, beginning to insult Mozart. What is happening? "You're a pervert who can only get it up for musical scales! If you like music so much, you should turn into a piano!" Marie said her face flushed red. What is going on?

"... I don't know if I should have said this, but when you insult me like that, I feel something indescribable." Mozart said before smiling. Wow, he really is a pervert. "But see? You can do it if you try! Give the same treatment to Jeanne. Faster. Stronger. More violent! Tell her all of her flaws as you see them!" Mozart said.

"Sorry, am I interrupting something?" Da Vinci said, appearing on a call. We look over to Da Vinci on a video call. "I apologise for interrupting an important discussion, but we have something for our Kamen Riders." Da Vinci said Marie and Mozart look at Da Vinci.

"My! Who is she? She's beautiful!" Marie exclaims looking at Da Vinci, who smiles with pride.

"Aren't I? This Beauty is paired with a genius's intelligence!" Da Vinci proclaims.

"Don't get off topic Da Vinci, tell the Ground Team what you found." Olga said to Da Vinci getting her attention back on what she was going to tell us.

"Oh, right. Well, I have found the dimension where our Alter Ex-Aid hails from. It took a little modification of Chaldea but we found it." Da Vinci said, crossing her arms. "You should be able to get to that dimension using the Time Mazines. Better to handle this now sooner than later then huh?" Da Vinci suggests.

"She's right. Having an Alter Jeanne is bad enough, but adding those other Riders, weapons that shouldn't be in that Era, and Servants. Adding Alter Ex-Aid will make our job harder." Olga sums up. "We have a base setup for the time, Geiz, Sougo, your next objective is to go to Alter Ex-Aid's dimension, find and make contact with the Real Ex-Aid and eliminate Alter Ex-Aid." Olga orders, I stand up and nod.

"I'll be fine on my own." Geiz said getting up. "Zi-O stays here." Geiz said, grabbing his Ride Watch, taking it off his holder.

"Hold on! We need to do this together!" I said walking over to Geiz. "Alter Ex-Aid will have home field advantage. And if I remember correctly, we didn't beat Alter Build until we worked together." I bring up, Geiz pauses at that detail.

"Geiz, Sougo is right. As much as it might lead him to Oma Zi-O, it's better to have back up, then none at all." Olga said, looking at Geiz. "At the Very least. To keep a close eye." Olga said, Geiz thinks… Before sighing in defeat.

"Just grab your things. We will move soon." Geiz said, the Time Mazines appear and land by our campgrounds.

"My! What a massive Steel elephant!" Marie said in excitement looking at the Mazine. Right, our bikes look like horses with the Mazine looking like an elephant. Geiz and I enter our Mazines, Mash and Tsukuyomi joins us. "Ah! Let us accompany you!" Marie said to which I put out my hand stopping her and Amadeus to come aboard.

"The four of us will be able to handle this. We'll be back as soon as we leave. Trust me." I said closing up the hatch to the Time Mazine. "Okay, here we go. Time Space Drive, Activate!" The portal materialises and we fly into the portal.

Ex-Aid's World… We are Observer

"Sensei! I don't think I can do this!" A little boy exclaims to his black haired doctor.

"Come on, Saji-kun, you can do it!" The Doctor exclaims. "Yui, Asuna, hold him." The Doctor said, as a black haired woman and brown haired woman hold Saji in place. "Beginning Procedure." The Doctor said lifting up a needle.

"No! No, I don't want it!" Saji exclaims.

"Oh for the love of everything good. Saji-kun, it's just a flu shot." The Doctor said, looking at Saji.

"Emu-Sensei is right, it will be over before you know it." The black haired woman said to Saji.

"Yeah, don't forget you will also get a lollipop if you are a good boy." The brown haired woman said. Saji goes silent puffing his cheeks.

"It will be over before you know it." Emu said, rubbing a small white alcohol cloth square on the upper arm. Then grabbing the skin, Emu pinches twice before holding the pinched skin and inserting the needle, quickly putting in the shot and removing the needle. "Their, done." Emu said putting a small band aid over the insertion point. "See? Wasn't that bad." Emu said tossing away the needle into a special trash can.

"It was just a pinch." Saji said as the two ladies backed off.

"Exactly. Now, as promised." Emu said holding out a small bowl of different flavored lollipops. "Pick one." Emu said, Saji grabs one, opening it and putting it in his mouth. "Come on, let's go to your mother." Emu said. The four walk out into the waiting room. "Thank you for the wait." Emu said Saji walked over to his mother.

"Thank you for the work." The Mother thanks.

"No problem." Emu said, rubbing Saji's head. "Now you be a good boy, okay?" Emu said. Saji smiles.

"Thank you Sensei!" Saji said with a smile as the two leave the hospital. Emu stretches and lets out a relieved sigh.

"Another happy patient." Emu said as the three head back into the room. "So Yui? Any other appointments?" Emu asks, Yui pulls up a screen checking a schedule.

"We have an hour and a half till your next appointment, Sensei." Yui said.

"And, anything on "That" matter?" Emu asks, stopping before turning to Yui and the brown haired woman. "Asuna? Anything on him?" Emu asks again.

"Sorry, Emu-kun, we still can't find him." Asuna said, shaking her head. "But we are looking where we can." Asuna said, before a patient is wheeled past the three. "What? Another patient?" Asuna says worried.

"That's the 3rd one in the last 4 days. We're also getting similar reports from other hospitals around the country." Yui said, Emu crosses arms a serious look on his face. "Emu-Sensei, you don't think that the one douing this is?-" Yui asks, with Emu cutting her off.

"We can't be sure of anything till we get evidence on the symptoms and the method of transportation." Emu said as he continued back to his office. "But I feel like I'm getting close." Entering his office Emu sits down at a timeline on his Computer screen. "Now, how do we get to the culprit?" Emu said, when a light begins to glow from a drawer on Emu's Desk. "What?" Emu said opening his desk and pulling out a Ride Watch. A Pink faced with a lime Green body, the date listed is 2066, with the symbol of Ex-Aid on the watch. "Is this?... What does this mean?" Emu wonders.

We are Sougo

Our Time Mazines exit the Time-Space Portal and land atop a skyscraper. The Hatch opens and we step out. "Wow, Futuristic." I mutter looking out across the city. "Mash? What year is it?" I ask, Mash checks the date.

"It's… 2068 Senpai." Mash said. 2068? Really? Our gaze turns to the pair that came from the future. Their gaze is pointed at the Skyscrapers.

"... What?" Geiz said, looking at us. "Expecting some grand reaction?" Geiz said, turning to us. "We have a job to do, we can worry about-" Geiz is cut off when another voice speaks up.

"Wow~! Amadeus! Look, that tower is reaching to the sky!" A Female Voice exclaims in awe. Geiz, Tsukuyomi, Mash, and I turn to- Maria, Amadeus, and Jeanne?! What are they doing- My eyes wanders over to the Figure standing with them. Woz? Woz looks at me and bows. "Steel horses, Steel wyverns, Steel...Everything!" Marie exclaims in pure unaltered awe.

"This… Really is… Breathtaking..." Amadesu mutters, clearly at a loss of words of what to say. We look over to Jeanne who's so taken aback, that she is just speechless. I walk over to Woz.

"Woz! Explain yourself, why are they here?" I demand, as Woz kneels to me.

"My Overlord, my apologies, but this was not my doing. As they just entered pirit form and entered the Mazine with you. I have simply just arrived." Woz explains.

"But… Can they even be here? If I remember correctly, Servant bodies don't last long by themselves. Right?" I ask Woz, to which he nods.

"Correct, my Overlord. I'm simply moving around that by giving them Mana from a source handily given to me by your future self." Woz explains. Wow, what kind of energy source could it be? Wait, if it's Oma Zi-O then, would it be?- No! I don't even want to think about the horrific possibilities that could entail. I look at the three, Marie runs over to me grabbing my arm while pointing to the Tokyo Skytree off in the distance.

"Sougo! What is that? It's massive! It's cutting through the sky!" Marie exclaims.

"That's the Tokyo Skytree, which means we are in japan. That is the tallest tower in the world, people visit and walk near the top of the tower." I explain, Marie points near the top.

"You mean people can go all the way to the top? Ama- What is that?!" Marie exclaims pointing to a plane flying over.

"That is a plane. It's like a steel bird that can fly and transport items, people, and goods across the sea. Basically it's a third way to travel. Not just land and sea. But the sky as well." I explain, Marie is jumping from thing to thing. Her excitement is cut off when the sound of a crash is heard below, followed by screaming.

"Ah, right on que." Woz said as we rushed to the railing and looked down to the street. Where we see Alter Ex-Aid grabbing a teen by the neck. The teen struggles to break free before

"We need to get down there!" I exclaim, turning to the door. Only to see Geiz move back before breaking into a run, then jumping off the building. "Geiz!" I shout running back to the railing. Geiz straps on his belt, turns the face of his watch, activating it and inserts it into the driver.

"Geiz!"

"Henshin!" Spinning the belt, his armor appears on him. He slides across the side of the building before jumping off and landing on the ground with a roll. Whoa… That was awesome!... Bet I could do it too! I strap on my belt, turning the watch face and activating it.

"Zi-O!" The Belt sounds, before putting it in my belt. Tilting the belt and spinning, while I climb on the rail and jump off.

"Senpai!" Mash shouts as I fall towards the ground.

"Henshin!" I shout with the armor appearing on me. Here we!... Wait, I'm not close to the wall of the building! Shit shit- I slam into the ground face first…. Ow…

"What the hell are you doing?" Geiz asks me looking over. G-Guess the armor saved me from dying… I slowly get myself up.

"I-I was trying to do what you did." I said slowly getting up to my feet. I see Geiz already battling. I stand up and charge in. Swinging my fist at the Alter Ex-Aid I miss, before I follow with a roundhouse kick. The Alter leans back dodging, Geiz and I pull out our weapons and begin our attack.

We are Taiga

I ran on to the scene to a white and red rider battling the Bootleg Ex-Aid. Hey… they're… "Haven't seen them in a while." Biker said walking up beside me.

"And what brings you here?" I ask, he smiles pulling out his Level 0 Gashat. "I see..." I said pulling out my own Gashat. "It has been some time." I mutter, pulling out my belt.

"Oh? The former "no licence" doctor looking for an excuse to blow off some steam?" Kriya said, taking out his own belt. "Shall we?" Kiriya said, I nod and we run over to the scene. We enter our poses, activating our Gashats.

"Bang Bang Shooting" "Bakusou Bike!" The level area generates, with the white Rider pausing when noticing the area being generated.

"What… Are those? Item Barrels? And- Trophies?" He asks before looking over to us. "Wait, are you-" We enter our poses, as we say in synch.

"Henshin." Twirling our Gashats before inserting them into the driver, then opening the flap of the belt.

"Gashat! Gatchan! Level up!" We select our characters as our armor appears on us.

We are Sougo

I gaze at the Biker and Shooter Rider. Both take out their weapons and point it towards Alter. "Geiz! Look out!" I shout, grabbing him and pulling him back away from the incoming attack. Gunfire and Arrows hit Alter knocking it down. "Whew, that was clo-" I'm cut off when Geiz grabs me by the collar.

"Hey! Don't grab me! And I didn't need your help!" Geiz shouts at me. I push him back before I point at him.

"I just saved you from being shot in the back! You can at least thank me for that!" I shout at him.

"I don't need your help!" Geiz shouts.

"Yeah, sure. You had everything under control with Alter Build! Which one of us was the one who figured out how to beat him? Right, me!" I exclaim, Geiz clench his fist before punching me. "Ow, fine! You wanna play like that then-" I'm cut off when Mash and Tsukuyomi get in our way.

"Senpai! Stop!" Mash stops us, putting her shield up between us.

"If you beat each other to a pulp now! The Alter will get away." Tsukuyomi said pointing at the Alter. "So stop fighting each other and fight him!" Tsukuyomi said bringing us shoulder to shoulder, then kicking us towards Alter. Geiz stumbles to the ground, but I manage to catch myself, only to see that I'm standing right in front of the Alter. Uhh~ Alter raises it's fist to punch me, before a pair of Sickles slashes at Alter knocking it away.

"You okay their time kid?" The Biker Rider said looking at me. "Doesn't look like your partner over there is very cooperative." He said as we looked back over to Geiz back on his feet and battling the Alter while trying to dodge the Shooter Rider's shots. "We had better get in there." He said gesturing for me to go first.

"Oh, thank you." I said, I started to run at the Alter. The Biker puts his Sickles together into a bow. Then firing arrows, they fly past me and hit the Alter. Nice shots. I get in close and I slash the back of Alter. The Shooter Rider then blasts Alter, but midway through his barrage, his armor begins to glitch.

"What? What's happening?" The Rider asks, I turn to the Biker Rider to see he is also experiencing the same thing. We need to end this! Geiz and I activate our finishers spinning the belt then launching ourselves into the air. As we drop kicks towards the Alter, we both hit the ground… I stand up and look around… Huh? Where did the Alter go?

"Tch! I knew I should have done this alone! You let him escape!" Geiz shouts at me pushing me. The hell!? I did nothing!

"What the hell are you talking about?! I did nothing!" I shout, pushing Geiz.

"Okay you two, enough." The Biker Rider said walking over, removing his gashat and reverting to his civilian form. He's a man dressed in a flower shirt and a white doctor coat. "That wasn't either of your fault. He's been pulling that disappearing act on us multiple times before. Let me introduce myself. Kujo Kiriya, Kiriya is fine. Kamen Rider Lazer, nice to meet ya." Kiriya-san greets.

"Nice to meet you." I greet while removing my armor. Geiz removes his armor too, with the Shooter Rider following after.

"I guess then it's my turn. Hanaya Taiga, Kamen Rider Snipe. Where the hell did you two come from?" Taiga-san asks us.

"You don't need to know that." Geiz said, crossing his arms.

"Hey, that's rude. They know more than us, don't you think it's better to refer to them?" I argue, for Geiz to look at me with a 'shut up' look. What? He's all puffy and angry when he doesn't get his way?

"Sigh~ Teenage Riders… I feel like I should expect this but… God." Taiga said sighing, Geiz shoots an angry glare at Taiga-san. "Hey, it's your attitude, get it under control." Taiga-san said to Geiz. The comment makes Geiz pause. Ooh, nice.

"These two really need to get an opinion from our Emu… Now if only we could contact him." Kiriya said, pocketing his hands. "I saw him earlier today, but he just disappeared." Kiriya said.

"Emu? Who- wait… That guy!" I exclaim before I start to run to where the Teen was being choked out. The others follow behind, I arrive to see Mash, Tsukuyomi, and the other Servants around the passed out teenage student. "Hey! Are you okay?!" I ask running over.

"He's out cold." Tsukuyomi tells me. Damn… What happened?

"Another case." Taiga said getting everyone's attention. "Let's get him to Seito." Taiga said putting a hand up to his neck, where a device sits. "Hello? Yes, it's me. We have another patient, I need a pick up." Taiga orders, while gesturing for us to pick the guy up. "Come with us." Taiga said.

Umesato Hospital…

The Teen is rolled away on a stretcher by Nurses. I look around, the whole place is super advanced. Just about on the level of Chaldea if I had to compare it. 2068 tech is amazing… I wonder. I look at Geiz as he leans against a wall with his arms crossed. I wonder what kind of life he would live if Oma- I didn't destroy the world? "Another patient?" I hear a pair of Nurses say walking into the waiting room. "Kiriya, Taiga welcome." The Brown haired nurse greets.

"Sup, Asuna, Yui." Kiriya greets, I look at Taiga.

"Another, Taiga-san you said before that he wasn't the only one. What's going on?" I asked Taiga-san.

"That Fake Ex-Aid has been going around causing teenage kids to oddly pass out. All of the known cases are still passed out. With many across the entire country." Kiriya said walking over. "It's a nightmare, no one knows why this is happening." Kiriya said.

"It seemed like the Intern knew." A new voice said, as we looked over to a short black haired woman followed behind by a mob of other doctors and nurses. I hear a few female nurses squeal behind me like fangirls. Umm… Am I missing something?

"Nanami-Sensei, you know he's not an intern anymore right?" Yui said to Nanami, to which Nanami turned away. I lean to get a look on her face to see she's blushing a little.

"Right… I… Forgot." I could make out vaguely under her breath. Aww, she's cute. "What are you looking at?" Nanami said with an angry glare. Eep! I backed up and put up my hands. I hear a chuckle from Geiz. Not funny! "Anyways… Doctor Emu knew something about the event." She said before looking at Geiz and Me. "And that I had to tell you two." She said.

"Us?" I ask. Nanami-san nods walking up to me and hands me a note. "What's this?" I ask opening up the note to gibberish… What? I begin turning the note every which way to try and make out what it says. "What?" I say in confusion. "Mash? Do you know what's written here?" I ask bringing over the note to Mash who looks at it.

"I… Don't know. Is it some sort of cifer Senpai?" Mash asks me, I shrug. Tsukuyomi walks over to look at the note… I look at her and she shrugs.

"It's written in German you idiots." Geiz said walking over and taking the note from my hand.

"In German? Let me see!" Maire said walking over to Geiz. She puts her hands on Geiz's shoulders and looks over his shoulder to look at the note. Geiz blushes with her face so close. "Hmm? Are these directions?" Marie asks looking at Geiz.

"Y-Yeah, um. Up, up, down, down, left, left, right, right, A, B Start." Geiz lists off.

"Hey, that's the Konami Code." I say.

"Konami Code?" Mash asks me.

"It's a code that the Gaming company Konami used in some of it's games as a form of cheat code." I said, "It's been used since to show hidden secrets in games." I finish explaining. "But why would he hide it in German? And how did he know it was in the game?" I ask looking at Geiz.

"Maybe so that people don't follow him? It's clear that no one here knows German." Geiz surmises looking at everyone.

"I could have learned it in minutes. Also, Emu is a Genius Gamer. "The Second M" as he is known… Still… He could have told me." Yui mutters, puffing her cheeks.

"Still, now the question is where do we use it?" Kiriya asks, everyone crosses their arms.

"Isn't that obvious?" Geiz speaks up. "Zi-O you said it yourself. It's a code for a game." Geiz said. "Now which game?" Geiz said, to which Asuna raises her hand.

"Here! Here! I might know! Everyone! Follow me!~ To CR!" Asuna said as she rushed down the corridor. Where is she going? Everyone begins following her, we follow her into an elevator. We go down into the underground of the hospital. We then follow Asuna into an office room overlooking a special hospital bed. "I believe this might be it!" Asuna said, picking up a Nintendo Switch.

"Oh, man! A Nintendo Switch!... Wait. What does that have to do with Topic at hand?" I ask, before Asuna-san pulls up a game. Mighty Action X?

"Emu was playing this when we were checking on other patients. But when we came back, he was gone but the game was still playing." Asuna explains, handing the Switch to us. I look at Geiz, he just shrugs.

"Yes, this is where I found the note, sitting right next to the Switch." Nanami recalls, before looking at us. "Perhaps he made these for us to follow." Nanami suggests.

"Give it a shot." Tsukyomi said, I take a seat with Geiz, Mash, and Tsukuyomi looking over my shoulder. Up, up, down, down, left, right, left right, A, B, Start. The screen begins to glitch.

"It's glitching!" I exclaim.

"No, we got it!" Geiz said as the screen began to glow.

"Whoa… I get the feeling that we can do this!" I said a smile forming on my face. A flash as everyone except the 4 of us disappear as the area around us changes into a warehouse. The Chair that I sit on disappears too as I fall to the ground. "Ow!" I said looking up.

"Senpai? Are you okay?" Mash asks me, putting out her hand. I take it and she helps me up. I nod confirming I'm okay. We all look around. "Where are we…?" Mash wonders.

"Are we inside the game..?" I wonder. "Awesome!" I mutter excitedly.

"If I remember correctly, Games are like any other computer program, they have backdoors." Geiz explains to us. "I bet that Emu guy must have been searching for this." Geiz surmises, Tsukuyomi just stares at Geiz.

"Geiz..." Tsukuyomi said as a smile forms on her face. "You're getting so much more involved, now." Tsukuyomi points out, to which Geiz turns away blushing a little.

"I'm not, I'm just, y'know..." Geiz mutters under his breath. I look at Mash as we chuckle. "*Spt!* S-Stop that!" Geiz tells us.

"Geiz-san must also really worry for victims too huh?" Mash said.

"For the last- Guess we need to put that off for later. We're intruding..." Geiz, we look over to the entrance to see Alter Ex-Aid standing there. "And look who's come to play." Geiz said, taking off his Ride Watch. I stand up, pulling out my belt.

"You understand, right? Even if we beat him now, he'll keep coming back." Tsukuyomi points out.

"But just standing here won't help either!" I said, putting on my belt. Geiz follows as we put out our Ride Watches, turning the faces then activating the watches.

"Geiz!" "Zi-O!" We insert the watches into our belts, tilting the faces of the belt. We enter our Henshin poses before we exclaim.

"Henshin!" As we twirl our belts. The Bell rings as the clock rings appear and spiral around us, the armor attaching onto us.

"Rider Time!" "Kamen Rider~ Zi-O!" "Kamen Rider! Geiz!" The Kanji attaches onto our helmets. Alter screams before charging towards us. Geiz and I charge at the Alter, we throw a punch hitting Alter. Alter knocks us back, Geiz recovers and kicks. Alter blocks and punches Geiz. I come in and punch only for my attack to be deflected and Alters fist to meet with my face. This… Ass! I charge back in, Tsukuyomi and Mash keep their distance. Tsukuyomi hides behind a block, while Mash materialises her shield.

"Haa~!" Geiz and I shout as we both kick Alter knocking him back. Alter recovers before he kicks the block that Tsukuyomi hid behind. The block breaks apart with the parts hitting us. Geiz manages to deflect the blocks, but I'm not so lucky. Alter jumps back in at us, we engage. I throw a punch only for Alter to leap up into the air and land on a floating box. Alter then launches towards us, Geiz and I move back. Alter lands on the ground like a panther, then lunging at us, kicking both of us. Alter lands and lunges at us again. We try to counter, only for another block to suddenly appear under Alter's feet, letting him change his direction before we can hit him. Lunging at us again, Alter lands another hit on the two of us. Alter lunges at Geiz again, grabbing him and goes to punch him. I jump in grabbing Alter and pulling him off, as I proceed to punch him several times. Alter then deflects and pushes me aside, going to hit me again. Geiz jumps in for the save knocking Alter back.

"If I catch you slipping, I'll just take you out right now!" Geiz said kicking Alter back. He reaches for his Cross-Z Ride Watch. Alter lunges in grabbing Geiz's arm. "Shit!" Geiz exclaims. I look over to Mash who's charging in.

"Geiz! Duck!" I shout, Geiz looks over to see Mash coming in. "Mash! Now!" I shout, as Geiz ducks, just as Mash swings her shield knocking the Alter back hitting the wall. "Nice!" I compliment Mash, she looks at Tsukuyomi.

"Tsukuyomi-san! Now!" Mash said, Tsukuyomi nods as she takes aim with her Faiz Phone X, shooting the Alter causing him to be stunned. Mash moves ahead and kneels down, putting her shield above her head. "Senpai! Geiz-san! Now!" Mash exclaims, I look at Geiz. We both nod before jumping onto Mash's Shield. "Gooo~!" Mash shouts launching us into the air.

"It ends here!" We shout activating our Finishers.

"Finish Time!" We spin our belts. "Time Break!" "Time Burst!" We drop kick into the Alter knocking him through the wall and outside. We land on the ground, as we sand a few meters away from Alter. But then, the Alter disappears leaving a man in his place. What? A person? Just then, someone walks onto the scene. Another… Doctor?

"Well, color me surprised. I didn't think anyone else besides maybe Yui would find their way into the game." The man said surprised. "I see..." He mutters. "You must have seen my notes then." He concludes. Wait…

"Notes?" Mash and I ask in synch. "Then that means." Mash mutters looking at the Doctor.

"Yes, it has to be. That's… Iijima… Emu." Geiz mutters. Emu? Then… He's Doctor Emu?

"You're the Genius Gamer… Second M?" I mutter, Emu lifts up the same driver that Taiga and Kiriya had on them. He straps the belt on.

"No offence. But this is as far as you'll go. Time Jumpers." Emu said lifting up a game cartridge. Mighty Action X? Emu activates the cartridge.

"Mighty Action X!" The cartridge said as a level area generates. A start screen appears behind Emu with the logo. Emu puts out his Gashat before swinging it around. Bringing the cartridge close he shouts.

"Dai Henshin!" Spinning the Cartridge upside down, he lifts the cartage up and into the driver.

"Gashaato!" Emu then opens the belt up, as a character select ring and a hologram screen appears. He selects the character Ex-Aid as the armor screen passes over him. "Gatchan! Level up! Mighty Jump! Mighty Kick! Mighty Mighty Action X!" In a flash his armor appears on him. Kamen Rider… Ex-Aid! I stand in awe at the rider before me.

"Sorry, but. You two are going to be black and blue in a second!" Ex-Aid shouts before charging at us. What?! Ex-Aid swiftly kicks me knocking me back, before he Round Kicks Geiz knocking him back too. Suddenly time comes to a halt as a Time Jacker walks onto the scene.

"Time… Jacker…!" Geiz mutters, we are barely able to move our heads to look at the Time Jacker.

"Sigh~ Seriously, look at this mess. Now I'll have to start over. Thanks a lot, Overlord." The Time Jacker said kneeling down and reaching into the man and pulling out an Alter Ride Watch. She activates the Ride watch again.

"Ex-Aid!" A distorted voice calls out, the Time Jacker incerts the watch back into the man.

"Well, see you around." The Time Jacker said standing back up. She disappears in a flash as time resumes. Geiz and I fall onto the ground and Alter gets back to his feet. Immediately Ex-Aid begins to glitch out, and we are transported back into the room we came from, with the Alter disappearing.

"Senpai! Are you okay?" Mash asks me, walking over to us.

"Whoa, their back." Kiriya mutters looking at us. "And in their ar- What is with that shield?!" Kiriya shouts pointing at Mash.

"That's your first question? Emu, report." Nanami-san cuts in walking over to Emu.

"Nanami-san… I was right. I know who's behind these attacks." Emu said to Nanami. I walk over to Emu removing my armor.

"Um. Doctor Emu? Who was that man? And why is he an Alter?" I ask Emu. Emu turns to me and looks at me. "We want to help the coma patients." I explain.

"... I appreciate your help but. This is a medical matter, please leave this to us." Emu said to us. What? But we're dealing with an Alter here! I open my mouth to say something, only for Emu to point at the door. "I have a fundamentally different goal than all of you. Please." He said with a firm face…

"Understood." I said, everyone not a doctor leaving the room.

We are Emu

Sorry, but this is something I need- "To handle? With that throught process you will fail as a doctor." Nanami said, reading my mind. I chuckle. Haven't been told that in awhile.

"Emu Sensei, you aren't alone in this case remember?" Yui said leaning over.

"Those kids too. They were here to help." Asuna explains. "They just wanted to help… Though I'm not sure why." Asuna said. Still… I'm not sure I want to get them involved.

We are Sougo

"What's with him?" Tsukuyomi said sitting down on one of the seats in the waiting room. "Instead of helping he just tried to stop us." Tsukuyomi said crossing her arms.

"The Takeaway here is that we can't rely on him. I'll go back to 2066, and I'll beat Alter Ex-Aid." Geiz said, I looked at him.

"How are we sure that he's in 2066? We don't know for sure." I tell Geiz, he walks past towards the door. "Ah- Wait hold-" Geiz stops me.

"Zi-O… This isn't your concern anymore." Geiz said before leaving the hospital.

"I-I'll go after him." Jeanne said, following after Geiz.

"Thank you. Sorry about him." Tsukuyomi said getting up and walking over to me. "Geiz doesn't hate you, not as you are now, anyway. It's just what you said to him in France." Tsukuyomi said, I remember what I said to him. As well his reaction, what I said then was wrong. I had forgotten about what he might have gone through… "He and I both lost friends, people that we wish we could have saved… But… We couldn't. They all tried to change the future by defeating Oma Zi-O… But none of them lived to see that happen." Tsukuyomi explains.

"And… I caused all of that…?" I mutter.

"Senpai." Mash mutters.

"Correct." Tsukuyomi confirms. "Considering the fate of our friends, can't you see why Geiz thinks you're a villain? Even when you saved him from Alter Build, he just couldn't shake off the thought that you were a villain who must be defeated, even at this stage in time." Tsukuyomi explains.

"I do." I said. Just how many bodies did I pile up? Plus… "Then, do you think I'm a villain who must be defeated, Tsukuyomi?" I ask her, Tsukuyomi thinks about the question.

"I don't know..." Tsukuyomi answers. "But I think I can at least try to guide you, so you don't turn into that Evil Overlord. At least I hope I can..." Tsukuyomi said, Amadeus steps over patting me on the head.

"Evil… Good… It's all subjective. Even if he may become an overlord. It doesn't mean he will become a monster." Amadesu points out. "I used magic to get the sounds of demons into my music. Yet, it casts no evil spell on those who listen to it. Just because it's from demons, does not mean it is evil." Amadesu explains.

"Indeed, it is the same for me. Despite history, as well as the French people's feelings at the time. I never stopped loving France. Neither did the people." Marie explains. Right, the revolution. She never stopped loving France, even when it's people locked her up and executed her. "Good and Evil, Evil can bear good people, as well as good intentions lead to bad results." Marie continues. "I still believe in the French people and I believe you are a good man Sougo. You just took a wrong turn somewhere. You can still change." Marie said with a smile.

"Senpai is a good person, I will do all I can to help you!" Mash expresses. Simple… But I feel relieved…

"Okay." I said with a smile.

We are Geiz.

"Time Mazine!" The Time Mazine floats down and the hatch opens.

"Wait! Geiz!" I hear from behind. I turn around to see Jeanne approach.

"What do you want?" I ask.

"You don't have to be so distant with Sougo." Jeanne tells me. "He's just worried. Letting him help you isn't a bad thing." Jeanne expresses walking up to me.

"You wouldn't understand. Knowing what he will do. It's better that he doesn't get the chance to gain more power." I say getting into the Mazine, Jeanne follows me in, as I prepare to enter the past. "I came to the past to change the future. Not to keep it on it's course." I explain, thinking back to everyone gone thanks to him. Even if he saved me that one time. It means nothing against everybody he has.

"Aren't you just judging him based on something he "will" do, instead of trying to change what he "might" do?" Jeanne said, to which I chuckle at the thought.

"He's already begun on his path when he took Build's Power. Only a matter of time before he becomes power hungry." I said inputting the date.

"As I was accused of heresy and burned at the stake?" Jeanne compares… "Are you saying that if you were sent back in time to stop me from becoming a heretic, would you not hesitate knowing my history?" Jeanne asks me…

"You're different. You were wrongly accused." I retorted.

"You are accusing Sougo of something he hasn't even done. And from what I've seen, the thought of what you suggest would have never crossed his mind!" Jeanne said I choke to say anything back. "Geiz, you are in a unique position to change his future… Don't you want to do the same for those poor kids currently in the hospital?" Jeanne asks me.

"HIS FATE CAN'T BE CHANGED! It's… Pointless, unless you cut off the cause." I said as I turned my back to Jeanne. That's right. Even if he's a completely different person, once he started, he won't stop. Which is why the best I can do is keep him from his full power. Fate-

"Fate can be changed. It is only limited by your will, as well as how much help you have." I hear behind me. Jeanne and I turn around to Nanami standing at step. "I apologise for overhearing but. I agree with the miss. Fate can be changed." Nanami agrees.

"Only if you change the start line." I said back. Nanami shakes her head.

"No, it can be changed at any time. It just requires the right help." Nanami said then walking away.

"Wait, what do you mean?" I asked, following after Nanami. Nanami stops then turning around.

"If you want to know that, you two will have to come with me." Nanami said, before she sets off. Pausing to look at Jeanne. "Though, I'd recommend something more… Casual. No armor." Nanami said, looking at Jeanne from head to toe. Jeanne looks at herself before looking at me.

"Does my look seem bizarre?" Jeanne asks me.

"Well… Maybe the armor?" I suggest, Jeanne looks at herself before the armor on her disappears. "Is that… Some sort of an ability that Servants can do?" I ask, Jeanne nods.

"Enough, it will work. So for now, you two, come with me." Nanami said.

We are Sougo

After the talk, I decided to try and get some alone time. I began to think of what the man could be after. What was Alter doing? I wonder as I walk through the halls. I see Yui looking over some notes on a screen. "Hmm? Yui-san? What are you looking at?" I ask walking over.

"Oh, Sougo-kun. Just trying to figure out if there's a connection." Yui said.

"Doesn't Emu-sensei know? Why haven't you asked him?" I ask Yui, to which she sighs.

"He doesn't know. That's what he wants me to figure out. I only know that Ida is trying to help Keisuke somehow. I don't know how he's trying to do that." Yui explains. Who are Ida and Keisuke? I wonder, Yui sees my confused face. "Ah, sorry. Ida is the father of Keisuke, Keisuke is one of our patients here at Umesato Hospital." Yui explains to me.

"What kind of illness does Keisuke-san have?" I ask.

"He has idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy." Yui said to me… What? What did… ANY of that mean? "His disease is an illness that causes the patient's heart and lungs to not function correctly. Resulting in not enough blood, heart attacks, clots, and death." Yui explains to me. Oh my god… "Still, I don't see why Ida-san is attacking these teenagers?" Yui wonders. I look at the notes…

"You said that it's a problem with the heart right? Maybe these patients have a heart right for Keisuke?" I suggest Yui looks over the patients and checks a few more files… Then a few more files… and more.

"Oh my god… Sougo-kun you're a genius!" Yui exclaims standing up.

"I-I am?" I ask.

"Every single patient that has been brought in, all have the right size for Keisuke to get a transplant! Ida has been collecting people who can transplant." Yui exclaims. Which means-

"Keisuke-san can be saved then!" I exclaim.

"Unfortunately not." Yui said. What? "I know I just said that all the patients are donors. But the thing is, it's been almost 2 years now. The illness has developed too far. Even if we transplant it changes nothing. He's on the verge of death as it is. Keisuke is incredible to even last 2 years with this disease." Yui explains. No way… "Still, I need to get this to Emu and the others." Yui said, then sending messages out. "Come on, Sougo. Let's get this to Emu." Yui said standing up and heading off.

"Ah, right, coming!" I said following Yui.

We are Geiz… Strawberry Palace...

We enter a cafe, and we take a seat as maid's move around serving customers. Is this… "You brought us too… A Maid Cafe?" I ask. These were popular before the apocalypse… I guess they still are in this world. "Why are we here?" I ask Nanami.

"Simple, we're here for food." Nanami said as one maid approached us. "Mihaya-san, greetings." Nanami said. "I'll have my usual, with two strawberry shortcakes for these two." Nanami orders, the maid- Mihaya-san writes down the order.

"Would you like to order the party tea set as well?" Mihaya suggests. Nanami thinks before nodding.

"Yes, I would like that." Nanami said, with a bow Mihaya walks off. "Good to see their relationship isn't strained with this case." Nanami said, looking at Mihaya walk off. What? What does that mean? "Oh, nothing you two must worry about. Simply the relationship between the in- Emu and Mihaya-san." Nanami explains. "But that's not important now." Nanami said, turning back to us. "We are currently in the process of finding a connection between the patients in this case and Ida, the man you met Geiz." Nanami explains.

"So you're trying to find the Alter's motive then?" I ask, Nanami nods. A Message comes in and Nanami opens the message and reads it…

"I see. I suspected as much." Nanami said, crossing her arms. "Ida is targeting teenagers with suitable transplants for his son." Nanami explains bringing her hand up, she nibbles on her nails in annoyance. "Though we are too late. If we had learned about the illness 2 years ago, I would have been able to do the surgery necessary to save Keisuke. Keisuke is on death's door." Nanami said. So his fate is- "But we can still change it." Nanami speaks up.

"What? What do you mean?" Jeanne asks.

"As we are now, I can't change anything." Nanami said before pointing at me. "But you can, Time Traveler." Nanami said. Me? "I told you that fate can be changed. You can save Ida and Keisuke while also achieving your own objective." Nanami explains. Right, that's right. I'm in a position where I can change fate… Then again… I... Always have been. Same with Chaledea. Mihaya-san returns, she places down a whole cake on the table, with cream puffs, and two separate slices of cake for me and Jeanne, along with a tea set…

"Um… Do you plan on having the whole thing?" I ask Nanami as she takes on the cream puffs and puts them on her plate.

"Of course not. You two are welcome to the cream puffs." Nanami said, grabbing her fork and knife. I meant the cake, but okay. Nanami takes one of the Cream Puffs and puts it on her plate and goes to cut it.

"Okay, but… I don't think that's how you eat a crea-" I said before Nanami swiftly cut through the cream puff without effort. The Cream puff cleanly splits into four pieces. "Wha?!" I exclaim in shock, I look at Jeanne who is just as confused as I am. "H-How did she cut the cream puff like that?" I whisper to Jeanne.

"I-I don't know..." Jeanne mutters back. I just stare at Nanami-san who picks up one of the slices and eats. A warm smile of enjoyment clear on her face… I'm so confused right now.

---

We are Emu

I stand on the roof. "Burst link." I said as the world changes and I enter the digital world. The Hospital roof transforms into a cliff edge, with Ida-san who's transformed stands facing me. "Ida-san, you have to stop this." I said, "You have to snap out of it! What Keisuke needs right now… is for you to be at his side." I explained to Ida-san. Ida-san returns to normal.

"What are you saying?" Ida-san said, walking over to me and grabbing my collar. "You want me to sit around and wait for Keisuke to die!?" Ida-san shouts at me… "Don't fuck with me!" He shouts, throwing me to the ground. "If doctors like you won't save him, I'll do it myself! Stay out of my way." Ida-san said walking away.

"You've got it wrong!" A voice said, as I looked over to see… Sougo-kun? "Ida-san. It's too late for Keisuke. Everyone you brought in. It won't change a thing." Sougo said.

"How…? How did you-" I ask, when I see Yui step over. Yui must have brought him in.

"Sougo-san and I looked into the case again. We learned that everyone admitted has the necessary organs for donation." Yui explains helping me up to my feet.

"That's why he became an Alter Rider. He used your powers and jumped through the internet, finding people who could help save Keisuke." Sougo explains, then looks at me. "And Emu-Sensei, you wanted to give him the strength to live… So you tried to bring his father back, right?" He asks me. Heh, seen right through me.

"You do understand then..." I mutter.

"Someone who tries to save the person that everyone else is worried about defeating. I think that's someone worth listening to too." Sougo said with a smile. "Besides, being desperate to help someone in need is the one thing that all of us have in common." Sougo said, looking at Ida-san. "So I understand how you feel, too. But you can't sacrifice others to do it! You don't have too!" Sougo tells Ida-san.

"Shut up! Just shut up already!" Ida shouts turning to Sougo. "While you're prattling on, my son is dying! He's running out of time!" Ida ignores before walking off changing back into the fake me.

"Ex-Aid!" The digital world begins to fade, I chase after Ida-san.

"Ida-san! Ida-san!" I shout running after Ida-san but he disappears before I can get to him.

"You don't have to do it all by yourself, Emu-sensei." Sougo-kun said, I turned around to look at him. I see him take off a Neuro Linker, as Yui materializes out of it. "Okay… That is freaky..." Sougo said, looking at Yui. Sougo looks back to me. "I'll let the doctor worry about his patient. As for the Alter Rider? Ida-san? You can let me take care of that. I'll be able to fix this." Sougo said.

"How? And why?" I asked Sougo-kun.

"Why? Because I wanna be a king someday. So looking out for people, it's all part of the job." Sougo explains. He… Wants to become a king?... Heh.

"Heh ha… ha… What an odd dream. Yet… I like it." I tell him. Wanting to save others. The Nobility of a king. "And you can't achieve that dream on your own… Can you? It's a joint effort." I ask, Sougo nods.

"I just think back to the people who achieved their dreams throughout history. All of them never achieved it on their own." Sougo explains. Yeah, no one man can achieve everything on their own, can they?

"I see… Yeah, I should remember that for next time. So let me pass something onto you then." I said, "This is something that might be good for you to remember. Fate, it's not so easily changeable, and like you said. It's never done alone." I tell him, to which He nods, if he's gonna deal with Ida-san, then… Perhaps he might need something. I reach into my pocket and take out two watches. "I suppose then. If you are gonna help Ida-san, you will need this, correct?" I asked him, handing him two watches. One that's mine, the other that looks like Genm with a purple face and a black body.

"A… pair of Ride Watchs." Sougo said taking the two Watches from me. So they are called Ride Watches huh?

"I-... Me and the other Riders, we don't remember how we got these." I explain, trying to remember when I even got the watch. "But, we all agreed in wanting to give them back to their owner when we found him. I guess since you know what this watch is. It's yours." I explain, "So please. Get through to Ida-san." I ask Sougo.

"Of course. And I'll do more than that, I'll save Keisuke-san too!" Sougo said, as a machine floats up to the roof. That machine… I think I recognize it. "I get the feeling I can do this!" Sougo said heading to his machine. Yui walks over.

"He wants to be a king?... *Giggle* not the first odd dream I heard. But… His heart is in the right place." Yui said, looking at me. "Don't you think so? Sensei?" Yui asks, I put my hands away in my coat pockets.

"Yeah, and I get the feeling that… In one way or another. He will achieve that goal." I said turning back to the steps to go back inside.

---

We are Geiz

"Here, you might need these." Nanami-san said as she set down 4 Ride Watches. One with a silver face and blue body. Snipe with a dark black face and neon green body, Lazer with a pink face and yellow body, finally Poppy Ride watch with a white face and pink body.

"Wha! Wow, you had these with you this entire time?" I ask Nanami, she takes a napkin wiping leftover cream on her cheeks. I look at where the cake once stood to see the entire thing gone. Two cream puffs, and a whole cake… I wonder how she keeps in shape? No! That's not important. "And why are you just giving us these?" I ask.

"Me and the rest of the doctor Riders wanted to return these when we found their owners. And since you and Sougo both use these watches. It's not hard to figure out who these belong to." Nanami explains lowering her napkin down to her plate. "So we are." Nanami said, "As well, I want you to help Ida-san. I can't but you can. Help us, help Ida and Keisuke-san." Nanami asks me. I… Can change their futures. I stand up taking the 4 Ride Watches.

"Roger. It's my mission to change the future. And I plan to do that without fail!" I said, "Jeanne, let's go." I tell Jeanne, she nods standing up. We head out for the Time Mazine.

---

We are Sougo

"Time Mazine!" I enter the Time Mazine. Time to pick up the others and head out. I control the machine to fly down to the ground level. The others come out of the hospital.

"Come on guys! We're going to the pas-'' Just then, a ship-lizard-thing rams into me. What the hell?! The Ship changes into a mech before it starts shooting me with it's cannon, then pinning me to the ground with it's foot. "Ahg!... Trying to stop me? Then it's on!" I said strapping my belt on.

"Ziku Driver!" I turn my watch face and activate the watch. "Zi-O!" Inserting the watch into the driver, I tilt the belt's face before spinning it.

"Henshin!" I shout as the Zi-O armor appears on me.

"Kamen Rider~! Zi-O!" I grab hold on the controls breaking away from the Ship and getting some distance. I turn the handles from a horizontal position to a vertical position. The cockpit of the mech changes, as a seat, pedals, and screens appear out. A flash from my Ride Watch as I see an enlarged version of my watch attached to where the head should be. The Watch parts of the head split and fold away, leaving a mecha version of my head. Awesome! I get the feeling that I can't lose! Pressing down on the pedal and turning the left handle forward I boost straight at the ship. Bringing the Right arm handle back I swing with it, as the mech's fist collides with the ship mech. I flip a switch on the right stick to change control from arm to leg, I lift up the mech's right leg and kick. Switching back control, I reach out with both mech arms grabbing the ships right arm, then grabbing the left leg I lift the mech and toss him over me. The ship quickly finds it's balance and lands on its feet. Wow, whoever is piloting this mech is good.

"Wow! Is this you're pretty good at this Zi-O!" A voice speaks over the comms. Wait, I know that voice.

"Ora, you plan on getting in my way again huh!" I exclaim, as Ora charges in grabbing my mech's shoulders. Then pushing me against the wall, pinning me. "Agh! What's your game plan!?" I ask.

"Nothing really. I'm just getting in your way to pay back for Alter Build!" Ora exclaims punching the mech. Really?! "Besides! Going into the past won't help you, since Alter Ex-Aid is in the virtual world in the past!" Ora exclaims leaning back to try and stab the cannon into my mech's head. Shit! Dodge! I lean to the left, the cannon slammed into the wall behind me. Now! I swing the left control stick, to punch the ship mech back. Switching control of both arms to my legs, I press down on the pedals. I lift up into the air, then I bring both legs back and kick the Ship Mech back. I charge and punch knocking the ship down.

"Hey there Sougo-kun! Looks like you're having a fun time without us!" Da Vinci said popping on screen. "Sorry about the silence since you got to that universe, but we have been keeping track of things in France. But now that we have a bit more time, let me help you out!" Da Vinci said inputting something at her consol. "Here, try this." Da Vinci said as a new icon appeared. A… Blade? I activate it. A slot opens on the arm of the mech. From it pops out a handle, taking out the handle it activates a pink blade.

"*Gasp~!* A Beam Saber!?" I exclaim with excitement. "Da Vinci you are a Beautiful Genius! Thank you!" I thank Da Vinci. I turn my attention back to the ship Mech.

"I am aren't I? Now, go get him!" Da Vinic exclaims, I press down on the pedals I fly straight at the ship.

"Haaa~!" I shouted swinging at the ship, I cut straight across the chest of the ship mech. Cut it in half. I land on the ground and look back. The ship explodes, when I hear clapping elsewhere. I look to see Ora standing on the roof. "He managed to get up there..." I mutter.

"You've won today Zi-O. But we can always play again later. See ya." Ora said walking off. And he's gone… Returning my beam saber back into its slot I change back into vehicle mode.

"Senpai! The Time Jacker is getting away!" Mash exclaims, running over.

"That's not important now. Everyone get in. Where we are going does not concern him." I said setting the date. "Let's go." I said, with everyone climbing in the hatch closed. "Time Space Drive, activate!" I said as a time portal appears and we go back two years to 2065, entering the past we see Geiz, Jeanne, and Charlotte battling Alter Build. They trio take out the Alter, as we land. Exiting the Time Mazine, another Alter Ex-Aid appears from around the corner.

"What? How? I thought we were in the right time!" Jeanne exclaims in confusion. We ran over to the three. "Sougo!" Jeanne exclaims.

"Alter Ex-Aid isn't here. He's in the digital world. I managed to get that detail from Ora, when he ambushed me." I explain it to the others. "The question is, how do we get into the digital world?" I ask, that's when we get a call in from Chaldea. "Hmm? Da Vinci to the rescue?" I ask, answering the phone.

"Indeed it is! Da Vinci to the rescue!" Da Vinci said typing out commands. "This will only work for our two Riders here. But while I was managing things in France, you're genius has also been looking into seeing the background of our Gamer Rider." Da Vinci said, she pulls up a screen. "Ex-Aid has a connection to a game referred to as "Brain Burst" this game uses an interesting system to speed up it's users' cognition of time. But that's for another time. In researching this timeline, I discovered that you are right at the center of a time singularity in the digital world." Da Vinci explains.

"Are you saying that Ida-san is in this time singularity?" I suggest.

"So it would seem. Altho not originally, he must have transferred to that time to slip even further back in time." Da Vinci hypothesis. That's something I can see Ida-san doing. "But, I have modified the Time Mazine to act as a VR Headset, it will allow our Time Riders to dive into the game and intercept Alter Ex-Aid." Da Vinci said, I look at Geiz who looks at me. The both of us nod to each other. We head over to our Time Mazines. "Well, good to see you two are ready. You'll see a cord that can connect to your armor on the back of your neck. Once hooked up, just shout "Unlimited Burst!" and you'll enter the Digital world of Brain Burst!" Da Vinci explains, we enter the Mazine, a slot opens on the head rest and a cord drops out. I grab it and connect it to my armor.

"Unlimited Burst!" We shout, as the world goes blue and the door to the Time Mazine closes. I grab my controls and we enter a portal tunnel. Into the portals again.

---

We are Emu…

"Haaaa~!" I shout as I cut down the last mook. It falls to the ground and dissipates. "Whew that seems to be the last one in the area." I said looking to the party. Kirito, Asuna, Liz, Silica, Klien, Agil, Lefa, Sinon, Strea, Yuuki, Phillia, Rain, Silver Crow, Black Lotus, Cyan Pile, Lime Bell, Scarlet Rain, Ash Roller, Milky Ram, Sky Raker, Aqua Current, Scarlet Rain, Metatron, Brave, Snipe, Lazer, and Poppi. As we gather all up, suddenly my body begins glitching out. "What the?!" I exclaim.

"What is Happening?" Brave asks, as she's as well as the other Riders begin glitching in and out of their Rider forms.

"H-Hey teach?! What's going on?!" Ash Roller asks me.

"I have no idea?!" I exclaim, that's when something loads into the zone. What now?

"Ex-Aid!" I hear as a monstrous version of me steps out. What the fuck?!

"..." The Monster Ex-Aid stares at me. Why is he just staring at me… MENACINGLY!?

"Whee woo… Whee woo..." I silently mutter. The Monster me steps towards us. "Whee woo… Whee woo..." I mutter again. The Monster me roars before charging at me. "Whee woo, Whee woo, Whee woo, Whee woo!" I shout as the Monster jumps at us.

"Time Mazine!" I hear, before a machine flies in through the stones above us, crashing into the Monster me. What?

We are Sougo

"Oh shit! Did I hit someone?!" I shout running out of the Mazine and seeing Alter Ex-Aid on the ground. "Oh, it's just Ida-san." I said.

"Well, that landing could have been better." Geiz said, landing his Mazine. "Oh, you got Ida-san. Well, forget what I said then." Geiz apologises. I should be the one to apologise. I turn to him and I pause when I see him. Is he?

"Dude, what is that look?" I ask him. He still has the same face, but he has all black elf clothing with pointy ears. "Dude! You're an elf man!" I exclaim. Geiz looks at himself, then he looks at me then points at me.

"You too. You look like an elf too!" Geiz said. I do? I turn to my reflection on the side of the Mazine to see myself with my brown hair and I too have elf ears and dressed in red. "See?" He said.

"Whoa! I am!" I exclaim, I look at myself. "These must be our characters in the game then… Cool." I mutter, then remembering the reason why I wanted to talk to Geiz. "Hey, Geiz?" I asked turning to Geiz, and he looked at me. I bow. "I'm sorry for what I said to you in France." I apologised. "I forgot the reason why you came to the past of my world in the first place." I said, I straighten out. "You must have lost so many friends because of me." I said turning to Alter Ex-Aid. "If I continued down this path alone. I would have probably become Oma Zi-O too… So, to prevent that future." I look at Geiz. "I do believe, Geiz. In you, and Tsukuyomi. Which is why… I'm going to fight!" I proclaim.

"Well… If that's the case. Then… I'll- No. Tsukuyomi and I will guide you to a new future. One that does not lead to Oma Zi-O." Geiz said to me, walking next to me. "So let's do this." Geiz said taking out his Ride Watch. I nod in agreement.

"Yeah, we'll change the future!" I said strapping on the belt and putting out my watch. Turning the face I press on the crown.

"Zi-O!" "Geiz!" We insert them into our drivers, tilting the face and spinning the belt.

"Henshin!" We exclaim.

"Rider Time!" "Kamen Rider!~ Zi-O!" "Kamen Rider Geiz!" Our armor appears on us.

"Okay… Hey! Are you guys okay!" I ask heading over to Ex-Aid and his party. "Looks like everyone is good." I note seeing everyone… With a few more faces in the party. "Is it a result of the time singularity?" I mutter aloud.

"Hey, not to interrupt you but, who are you?" Ex-Aid asks me looking at me. He reads my helmet. "Kamen… Rider?" Ex-Aid reads off looking at me. "You are a Kamen Rider?" He asks me.

"Kamen Rider Zi-O. My red friend is Kamen Rider Geiz." I said gesturing to Geiz.

"We are not friends." Geiz said to me.

"Ah heh… As you can see, we are not on the best of terms." I said with a half hearted chuckle. "But please leave Ida-san to us." I said pointing at Alter Ex-Aid. I head over to Geiz. "Geiz, let's go." I said to Geiz.

"Right." Geiz said, we take out our weapons.

"Jikan Blade! Ken!" "Jikan Axe! Oh! No!" We charge in, as we approach Alter Ex-Aid summons some enemies. Mooks? That won't stop us! The Mooks charge us, we engage slashing at the mooks that get close. I slice one mook down then turning to Alter.

"Ida-san! Stop this! This isn't going to help your son! You need to listen!" I exclaim, kicking away a Mook and trying to get close to Ida-san. "Look, let us help!" I exclaim, as I near Alter, only for mooks to block my path.

"You expect me to believe you?! Lies, what everyone says is a LIE!" Alter shouts kicking me back. Geiz catches me, I look at Alter as he screams summoning more mooks.

"Becoming an Alter has manipulated his emotions to be more volatile." Geiz explains standing me up. "If we want him to see reason we need to get him away from the watch." Geiz said switching his weapon to bow mode. I raise my blade to attack, when a hammer smashes into the face of a Mook, sending it flying into another group of mooks. "You, what are you doing?" Geiz asks to Ex-Aid.

"Well, you guys seems to be gunning for the Fake Ex-Aid. I'm not one for bootlegs, so I'd like to help out." Ex-Aid said looking at Alter Ex-Aid. "Think you're hot shit huh? Alright, Faker. Bring it!~" Ex-Aid exclaims charging in.

"W-Wait!" I exclaim. Ex-Aid cuts smashes through multiple mooks. He's soon joined by the others. "Wait..." I mutter looking at the Riders. The Riders attacks do more damage against the mooks, even to Alter as well. I note seeing Ex-Aid and Brave take on Alter. "So… Alter Ex-Aid is only weak against the real Ex-Aid's power?" I exclaim.

"I see you have learned the truth, my Overlord." Woz-

"Kiyaa~!? WOZ! Please stop that, you're gonna give me a heart attack one of these days?!" I exclaim, to which Woz bows.

"Apologies. Though please remember this… To beat a Rider, you must wield the power of a Rider." Woz explains, looking at Alter. "That is the source necessary to defeat any and all Alters." Woz said, I look at Alter. Source?

"You mean like with Build's Power against Alter Build?" I ask Woz.

"Yes, very perceptive of you my Overlord." Woz congratulates. Okay. I look back to see Alter knock back Ex-Aid and Brave, the two beginning to glitch out. Time to get in there.

"Geiz! Let's armor up!" I shout to Geiz, grabbing the Ex-Aid and Genm Watch. Tossing the Genm one to Geiz. "Here!" I exclaim running over to Ex-Aid and Brave, with Geiz joining me next to me. "It's our turn now." I said turning the Ex-Aid Ride Watch Face and activating it.

"Ex-Aid!" "Genm!" We insert the Watches into our Drivers and tilt the belts. I turn to a Dab position, swinging my arm in a circle, I shout.

"Dai-Dai-Dai Henshin!" Before spinning the belt.

"Grade 3 Henshin!" Geiz said spinning the Belt.

"Armor Time!" "Kamen Rider~ Zi-O! Level Up! Ex-Aid~!" "Kamen Rider! Geiz! Level Up! Genm~!" The armor appears before us, in Gashat case before it fades away.

---

The Ex-Aid Armor is designed much in the same way as Normal Ex-Aid. On the helmet is pink spiky hair, the rim around the visior now white, with the kanji Words Ex-Aid on the helmet. The chest has a gamepad and stats on the chest. The sholders, being designed like Gashats. My arms are covered with a pair of large mallets acting as knuckles. The rest of the armor is just armor with pink and black lines at the thighs.

The Genm armor is essentially the same armor minus the gauntlets and switching the pink with dark purple and yellow. Along with the helmet reading Genm in Kanji.

I kick the armor, it flies into Alter knocking him back. I jump into the air to attach to the armor, while Geiz charges in with the armor just behind him following him as he kicks Alter down. The armor attaches onto us. I land on the ground and turn back to Alter. "Ta-da!" I exclaim.

"Iwae! He is the heir to the power of all Riders. The Ruler of time, traveling beyond time and space to reign over past and future. His name is Kamen Rider Zi-O: Ex-Aid Armor!" Woz introduces turning to me. "And in this moment, he has once again received the power of another Rider!" Woz finishes, I jump over side by side with Ex-Aid.

"Umm… Who is he talking to?" A ruffled hair man in a red bandana asks.

"I think it's towards us?" A man in black clothing wielding two swords guesses.

"Well then, donno why Genm has an armor but. I guess we're doing this together then?" Ex-Aid asks me, I nod. "Great. Then, with No Continue!" Ex-Aid begins.

"I know we can clear this!" I exclaim as we charge in. We jump into the air, blocks appearing under us. Ex-Aid jumps and drop kicks Alter knocking him back. I drop down in front of Alter and begin punching, I uppercut sending Alter up. Geiz and Brave jump in with their weapons, slashing at Alter. Alter drops to the ground, quickly getting to its feet, Alter jumps back in towards us. I fire my mallets straight into Alter, knocking him off balance.

"You're mine!" Geiz shouts jumping in. Alter finds his balance, making a block appear under him, as he launches at Geiz upper cutting him before kicking him into the ground. "Gurraa~!" Geiz shouts. Oh no!

"Geiz!" I shouted, turning to him. Geiz reaches out with his arm, before he goes limp.

"Game Over." Geiz fades away. What? No- "Continue!" I hear as I look ahead to see a Mario pipe with the neon glowing light of Continue listed on it. What? Geiz jumps out in a ridiculous crane kick pose. What? Geiz kicks Alter, falling back.

"Bahahahaha~! How was my continue?!" Geiz asks me… twisting his body back to look at me.

"What the hell was that laugh?" I ask him, Geiz pauses realizing what he's doing stands up straight and coughs. "Don't try and ignore what the fuck you just did." I pause… Why did I need to curse? "The fu-" I cover my mouth again. "Why the fuck am I cursing so- God damn it." I mutter.

"Keep focus!" Brave shouts running past us, pressing the B button on her blade.

"Kochin~!" The Flame blade changes to an Ice blade. Stabbing the blade into the ground, Brave swings across the ground, sending a wave of ice at the Alter who's beginning to get up. The Ice swing freezes Alter in place.

"Now, it's time to finish this!" Ex-Aid said, reaching for his slot holder on the side of his belt. I reach down to my belt. Ex-Aid removes his Gashat before inserting it into the holder, and presses a button on the slot. I press on the crowns on the watches, then tilting the belt face.

"Gashat! Kimewaza!" "Finish Time! Ex-Aid!" We enter a finish pose, I spin my belt, Ex-Aid presses on the belt. We both launch into the air. "Mighty! Critical Strike!" "Critical~! Time Break!" Two screens appear, one in stylised English for Ex-Aid, and a stylized Kanji for me. What is this? Oh! I know! I grab my screen and swing it, smacking Ex-Aid and sending him straight towards Alter.

"That's not what it's for!~" Ex-Aid shouts flying at Alter. He round houses, floating in the air, Ex-Aid proceeds to kick a few more times then kicking back Alter as Ex-Aid drops to the ground. I fly in drop kicking Alter, followed by an uppercut, then with a flurry of punches, finished off with one more kick straight to the chest, knocking Alter Ex-Aid to the ground. I land on the ground, and rush over to Alter, seeing the Alter Ride Watch falls off leaving Ida-san on the ground. I pick up the watch, looking at the watch, it begins to crack and shatters into shards before they fade away… The Alter's power on the timeline it's gone. I look back at the Riders to see that their glitching bodies return to their armor. I turn back to Ida-san who slowly wakes up.

"Ida-san, are you alright?" I asked, walking over to him, and picking him up. He looks at me before looking around.

"Who… Where… My son!" Ida-san exclaims as he grabs. "My son! He's-" I put my hands on his shoulders.

"It's fine, Ida-san. He will be fine." I said to him, I turn the watch dial on the side of my helmet and the helmet removes. "I'd like to introduce you to a few people." I said as I bring Ida-san over to the others. "Everyone of CR. This man's son is sick with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. You still have time to remove the cause before it spreads." I inform the Doctors as they remove their armor.

"You seriously remembered the name?" Geiz asks me to walk over removing his own armor. "I barely remember past idiopath." Geiz said, crossing his arms.

"When I need to remember something I think is important, I memorise it." I explain to Geiz.

"So then why are your grades in physics shit?" Geiz asks me.

"Sh-Shut up!" I exclaim. "Anyways, can you take care of Ida-san's son at your hospital?" I said then looking at Nanami-san. "You have that genius surgeon, don't you?" I said smiling. "If it's her, then there's nothing she can't cut." I said, with Geiz chuckling at something. Hmm?

"Nothing. Don't worry about it." Geiz said.

"Very well. Don't worry, we'll save your son, Ida-san." Emu assures, bowing to Ida-san who bows back. I walk over and hand him a pair of Ride Watchs.

"I'd also like you to hold onto these." I look over to Geiz who is handing out the rest of the Ride Watches. I turn back to Emu. "These watches will connect our futures." I said to Emu, who looks at the watches.

"In the Future… Sure. I'll hold onto it." Emu assures me. I nod.

IRL… 2068…

Our team stands on the roof of Umesato Hospital. We look on as we see Ida-san and Keisuke-kun leave the hospital. "Thank goodness." Jeanne said with a sigh of relief.

"Mm~ Those are some nice smiles." Amadeus notes looking at the two.

"I'm glad everything worked out in the end." Marie said with a smile.

"Good job you two." Mash congratulates us. "Just like you asked, we placed the real Watches in their hands." Mash tells us, I look back down at Keisuke. Now, the loop is complete.

"I guess it's time for us to go then." I said, turning to leave.

"Go on, Geiz." I hear Jeanne mutter behind me. Hmm? "Sougo? Geiz has something to tell you." Jeanne said looking at Geiz. I look at him, Geiz steps forward.

"What's up?" I ask Geiz.

"Look… I don't know if it's possible or not, but… If it's possible. I want to change your future." Geiz said to me. Geiz… "I don't know if you will become an Overlord or not… Better to try then not at all right?" Geiz said to me. "So, from here on, I'll do what I came to the past to do. Change the future." Geiz said with a solid look of determination.

"Geiz..." I mutter looking at him... "Geiz. Can I ask you to promise me something?" I ask him, Geiz looks at me. "If… I in anyway, start to become an Overlord. If I become a threat to the Grand Order and all of Humanity… Promise to kill me. This extends to even you, Tsukuyomi." I ask Geiz and Tsukuyomi.

"Senpai!" Mash exclaims, I put up my hand.

"Geiz is right. If… there's even a slight possibility that I'm on my path to Becoming an Overlord. I want someone to stop me. For everyone's sake. Even you Mash." I explain to her. I look back at Geiz. "So, can I ask you to promise me that?" I ask Geiz again.

"Okay. If you do. I won't hesitate." Geiz answers.

"Same with me… But I want to believe there's a chance." Tsukuyomi said. I nod in agreement.

"Then I guess that's everything then? Or is there something else we should do?" I ask, Geiz raises his hand. "Is there something you want to do?" I ask.

Strawberry Palace…

We are placed at a party table, Mihaya-san, our waiter takes our order. "Hee~, so this is why you wanted to come here right?" I ask Geiz looking at the maids serving the customer. He's pretty normal for tastes.

"Wha- I-I never said that!" Geiz said blushing.

"Dude, you're blushing." I said pointing at him.

"Sh-Shut up! And don't act like we're friends!" Geiz exclaimed. "*Groan~* Assassin, help me here." Geiz asks, Assassin appears only to chuckle. "What?" Geiz asks.

"I don't think I need to do anything. Mash-chan? May I sit next to you?" Charlotte asks Mash.

"Oh! Of course!" Mash said pulling up an extra seat, Charlotte sits down. Geiz groans putting his head against the table. I glance to Marie and Amadeus, the pair are looking around at the Maids.

"My, so even Maids in the future are still in their jobs of servitude." Marie said looking at the Maids. "Yet they serve everyone in the establishment as servers, Sougo, you called this a Maid Cafe correct? Is there an appeal to maids?" Marie asks me.

"Yeah, their popular, especially to guys. The idea of having a cute girl serve you is sexually appealing. Right Geiz." I ask with a sneaky grin, Geiz sits up and points at me.

"I did not come here because of the maids! It's just the… Cake and Cream Puffs here are good." Geiz mutters with his face slightly turning red. Plus the maids I bet. "Jeanne you know what I mean." Geiz said pointing over to Jeanne.

"Yes, we came here on Miss Nanami's request. She ordered us a wonderful strawberry cake and cream puffs, with a lovely tea to pair with it." Jeanne explains.

"So then you talked with Namami then?" I ask Geiz, he nods. So that's why he wants to change my fate. I'm not gonna complain. It's then that the order comes in. Ooh~ This looks good. "We should totally get some of this for the others at Chaldea." I suggest.

"Yeah, I'm sure the team at home will love it… Altho..." Tsukuyomi considers before looking to the rest of us. "We aren't getting any for Romani, since he ate the snacks for us." Tsukuyomi suggests, to which the Chaldea team nods. The Servants left confused at what we mean. "But besides that. Let's eat!" Tsukuyomi said. Geiz grabs one of the Cream Puffs and goes to cut it with a fork and knife.

"Hey Geiz. You know that's not-" I cut myself off when I see Geiz cleanly cut the Cream Puff into 4 equal peices… WHAT?! I look at the clean cuts before looking at Mash, who's just as surprised at me. "Wha- Ha… Geiz!? How did you do that?!" I ask.

"A secret." Geiz mutters.

"Oh, come on! Tell me!" I ask him, he just smiles and eats. Oh come on man~!
